Locals complain of illegal tipping at industrial estate in Manchester's Oldham

The Mail can reveal the existence of another site, in Oldham in Greater Manchester, where locals have also complained about smoke from burning waste. The complaints relate to an industrial estate owned by Ervan Connell, who received a one-year suspended prison sentence in 2022 for illegal waste disposal relating to his skip company, CK Waste Limited. Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council served Mr Connell with an enforcement notice relating to illegal waste tipping at the industrial estate in 2006 but it continued unabated for years, with videos shared with the Mail showing vast piles of waste at the site.
